Oud Sinharaja by Bortnikoff

What an incredible woody floral perfume I stumbled upon! I agree 100% with Gara’s review. It’s a delightful floral that moved me and made me fall in love without knowing why. Oud Sinharaja is a masterpiece: a citrusy woody floral packed with frangipani, jasmine, and a dominating woody base. It starts with citrus, especially a whole bergamot—bright, realistic, like biting into the peel and juice all at once. There’s a softer but present grapefruit note too. From the very first moment, the frangipani stands out, what truly moved me; it’s a natural, mature, tropical flower at its peak. It blends with tender white flowers, jasmine, and magnolia, supporting the star without stealing the spotlight. As it dries down, a non-animalic oud emerges, blending beautifully with the florals to create an elegant woody base. Wearing this piece of art makes me feel in love, tender yet strong. It’s an elegant composition with character and conviction. It smells like someone who has achieved everything, in love with the miracle of nature and its scents. A few days ago I wasn’t the same; now, after trying it, I feel my sense of smell has taken a leap. It’s unisex, though I think it was designed for women. It lasts over 10 hours with brutal sillage and projection; even as it dries down and hours pass, that tropical floral scent is still noticeable. It works all year round and at any time of day, just moderate the sprayer for special occasions or days when you feel happy and want to enjoy life and how you smell to those around you. The price is high, but it’s worth every penny earned. The notes are top-quality. I recommend it: you won’t regret it if you’re looking for a characterful woody tropical floral, tender yet feminine, strong and confident. Thanks to Dmitri Bortnikov for creating an experience that involves feelings, memories, and emotions. 💮

Once again, Mr. Dimitri does it: he creates a magnificent fragrance. He has us very well accustomed, but I personally thank him from the bottom of my heart. It smells like the most wonderful country in the world, the place with incredibly fragrant flowers, a resplendent, fleshy plumeria grown in full sun—the same sun that helped grow the most beautiful jasmine, the firmest and most robust woods we can imagine, and other first-class raw materials that Bortnikoff has already made us accustomed to. It is truly wonderful to smell such a rich, so well-made, so addictive fragrance that you can’t believe there are people so enthusiastic about scents, capable of creating liquid perfume gold for everyone to enjoy. There’s not just (Dimitri); there are countless people creating incredible fragrances to delight humanity. Thank you for making me travel without leaving my home, thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy it this way. Don’t miss the chance to at least smell this magnificent fragrance; in that very moment, you’ll get the idea of what I’m trying to explain. Keep enjoying everything, take care of yourselves, and live well.
